A Late-Summer Standout: The Rose Creek Abelia

As late summer’s hot and dry weather settles in, certain plants continue to shine. One of my all-time favorites is Rose Creek Abelia—a plant that asks for very little, yet gives so much in return.

So, why does this Abelia stand out?

• Rose Creek Abelia doesn’t ask to be irrigated , sprayed for diseases or fussed over.

• A late winter shaping is all the pruning it needs for the shape to be maintained all year long.

• The pale pink-to-white blooms attract pollinators, while clusters of dark pink flower heads add texture as they mature.

• I have learned that these beautiful Abelias can thrive in sun or shade for many years.

Who could ask more of a plant?

These beauties also pair so nicely with other botanicals! For a striking composition, try pairing Limelight Hydrangea, Abelia, evergreen holly, and if you love movement, Miscanthus Adagio ornamental grasses. Rose Creek also shines on its own, whether planted as a mass or shaped into a hedge.
